Warm and sunny weekend in Western WA, high fire danger and hot in Eastern WA

Nice July weather continues across Washington

Q13 News Meteorologist Grace Lim has a warm 7-day forecast.

SEATTLE - *RED FLAG WARNING* is in effect for East Cascade Valleys due to hot, dry, and gusty conditions. This will increase the risk for rapid fire spread.
*HEAT ADVISORY* is in effect for Eastern WA. Highs in the triple digits could lead to heat-related illnesses. Take extra precautions: stay hydrated, stay cool, check on loved ones, and never leave pets or children in a hot car.

Onshore flow will keep Western WA a lot more comfortable! Morning clouds and fog will give way to afternoon sunshine, and highs will be just shy of 80° in the Seattle metro area. The coast will be cooler in the 60s, and the Strait and North Sound will be mild in the lower 70s.
